Flying. That’s all I could feel. I opened my eyes and gazed up at the cloudy night sky above me and the dark forests below. I glanced backwards and saw two enormous wings coming from my back. I couldn’t tell what color they were, but I could tell they were darkly colored.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyULBgWF839
I’ve honestly never felt this good before. Just flying around alone has made me feel so free. I felt as if I could keep flying around for hours on end.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE7smjZwEG
As sudden as a lightning strike, I was struck from the sky. What was once a comfortable, and even pleasurable, feeling of flying turned into a fearful and painful feeling of plummeting to one’s death.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzBc2xKoGt
I looked back and saw that instead of feathers falling from my wings, dark, almost black, purple scales were falling with red droplets.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYknNVsY4i
I wanted to scream, but no sound would come out. Just as I was going to accept this fate, I felt strong arms surround me, stopping me from falling completely. The sound of wings came back to my ears.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBkvG0a171
I opened my eyes to find myself back on the ground. In front of me stood a male figure. He appeared to be taller than me and had these deep green eyes that stared at me with an intense gaze.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO59F2d6RZ
He cupped my cheek and, with his thumb, brushed away stray tears. 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu4Ykg6IKY
“Dry your eyes, my darling,” he spoke softly. “I’ll be there soon.” He slowly leaned in and softly put his lips to mine. He pulled away slowly with a smile on his face. “Just be patient, Sierra.”
I awoke with a jolt. What the hell did I dream up? I thought in disbelief. I looked over at the “teen vampiric demon love story” novel that was open (and heavily drooled on, yuck!) on my desk.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY4ix2aTQ0
“Ugh,” I groaned in my morning voice. “I had to do some late night reading… and of course I had to read ‘The Vampires And Demons Will Love At Midnight’ right before I passed out…” I turned to my phone, which, thankfully, I’d placed on the charger before going to bed.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ul5tgclMp
I checked the time and I nearly had a heart attack. It was 8:18 in the morning and I just about shit myself. My first hour class started at 8:30 and I lived across train tracks. As if to add to my misfortune, I could hear multiple trains making their merry way through Rune City. Fuck my life.

I arrived at school almost half an hour late, which earned me a sour glare from Ms. Mort, the secretary lady who kept attendance. Ms. Mort was a lady in her early seventies who should have already retired, but clearly didn’t because she “loved the kids too much”.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeiT5u3LkY
Anyway, after making it to Mr. Blake’s english class, I found that the class had already begun our next topic in our folklore unit, “mythical creatures and legends from around the world”.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCg3dTVJnS
Mr. Blake just nodded at me as I made it to my seat.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvyiYaeR8t
“As I was saying,” Mr. Blake said, “we will be studying demons as our first ‘mythical creature’.” A few of the ‘hardcore Christian’ kids groaned and shuddered in protest. “Calm down! I’ve already emailed your parents and guardians, and they’ve all given the green light for this! Plus, I’ve let the principal know what’s going on so she knows what to expect if some of you complain about this unit.” More groans and shudders came from the hardcore Christian kids.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50bGsVCENa
“This is so sinful!” Leroy, probably the most Bible obsessed kid I’ve ever met, said with distaste. “We shouldn’t focus on the Devil’s kind, but instead should focus on our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ!”454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyXNHNqORt
I groaned in annoyance. Leroy has been a thorn in my side for the longest time. He even put a Bible in front of me and told me, “I needed to be saved from Satan”. Please.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXpJkaxUWv
“Hey,” said an unfamiliar looking boy, that apparently sat to the right and front of me. “Mr. Blake, how about you send all of the kids who don’t want the rest of us to learn about this kind of stuff to the office and give them zeros, because it’s not fair to the rest of us who actually want to learn about this.”
“Well, Nathaniel,” Mr. Blake said, “that might be what I actually do. Great suggestion.”454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCaHuypjuN
That shut the rest of the kids up. I guess the thought of failing really sunk in. Leroy scoffed in distaste and turned to face Nathaniel, who I assumed was probably new here.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmzOX6J6dA
“Shut up, faggot,” Leroy scowled.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFLRMURaSV
Nathaniel, however, looked heavily unfazed. “Hmm. I didn’t know a pile of sticks could talk. Thanks, but if you really wanna get under my skin, you gotta try harder than that, bud.” I could’ve sworn that Nathaniel looked my way and winked at me. What a pervert!454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rWYftYZma
“Mr. Jones, that’s enough,” Mr. Blake said. “I suggest you turn around and leave Mr. Spencer be, or I’ll send you to the office. I won’t have you misbehaving in my class like this again, understood?”454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg0T8AnOyN
“Yes, Mr. Blake…” Leroy muttered.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dUYAWUD7I
Mr. Blake hummed, before going back to his lesson on demon mythology. Instead of paying attention, I was looking at Nathaniel. No one seemed to be interested in the seemingly-new student, which I found to be odd. Was I the only one to notice?454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKX9p88a7A
Nathaniel looked over at me again and we locked eyes. Something was really off about him. He smirked a little as his eyes stared into mine. Chills began to race down my spine as our staring contest went on. I couldn’t see any emotion in his green eyes as we continued to stare. Where had I seen those eyes before? I wondered, thinking if maybe I’d seen him around town before or in another place. No.. I would’ve remembered his face if that were true...454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GCKwStKsR
Something funny’s going on, and I’m going to get to the bottom of it.
